Location & hours

• Address: Port Vila Seafront, next to Nambawan Cafe, Port Vila, Vanuatu
• Position: extreme centre of tourist Port Vila — cafes, restaurants, banks, handicrafts, central market area and shopping along Lini / Kumul Highway are within about a 1 km radius. Guests are not “heading into town” after a tour; they are already there.
• Nearby context: adjoining Nambawan Cafe and the waterfront handicraft / arts area; short walk to harbour cafes and the central market strip; Iririki Island ferry side of the harbour close by water.
• Cruise ship days only: a temporary tender pontoon is placed on the Seafront and removed when the ship leaves; from that pontoon it is a short flat walk along the same central waterfront to our office.
• Hours: Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00
